Fixed that then a week later this. Car wouldn't start. Read somewhere about Bore wash. Put some oil in each cylinder then started straight away for 4 goes, then wouldn't start. Only way I can get her started is by pulling the fuel pump fuse and cranking it over. During this time it almost fires over but because its not getting fuel it won't, so I have to push the fuse back in at that point and it will start. Takes a few goes but I get there. At the moment I have wired in a switch to the fuel pump so I don't have to be on my hands and knees doing the fuse. Compression is good on each cylinder. Replaced the fuel regulator thinking return fuel was the issue. Getting fuel to rails and spark good. Intermittent idle issue as well ie if you just come to a stop without gearing down it will die, if you gear down its ok and sometimes idle is low. Any advice most appreciated.

If the rest pressure immediately starts to drop off you may have a leaking fuel injector. Also check your oil level for being too high or smelling like fuel to indicate fuel draining into the crankcase. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Will get a fuel pressure guage and try that. Thanks for the advice Bradman71 New User Nov 18, 2023, 11:57 PM Post #4 of 5 (473 views) Re: 2001 Pulsar Wont start unless I Pull the Fuel Pump Fuse Sign In Finally got a fuel pressure guage. 40 psi fuel pressure and holds with no drop. I think I will go down to my local pick a part and try an idle control valve to fule that out. Anyother suggestions most welcome Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 19, 2023, 4:28 AM Post #5 of 5 (459 views) Re: 2001 Pulsar Wont start unless I Pull the Fuel Pump Fuse Sign In Use a scan tool to access the sensor data and look for anything out of spec, especially the temp sensors, both the ECT and IAT. If you can check them when the engine is dead cold before starting it, the two temps should match each other. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
